Alright, I'll shut up. Enjoy!
SORCERER'S STONE
The first time Bella met Ron Weasley, she found him rude and tactless. Not at all like her eleven year-old brother who was as kind as he was short.
She knew he was the perfect boy to become Harry's first out-of-the-family friend.
After a while, she realized that Harry was balancing Ron out too, helping him lose some of his blatant faults.
Bella met Hermione Granger one day when the teen told Harry and Ron that everyone loses points sometimes and wasn't that big of a deal. Hermione had immediately scolded the older girl, telling her not to encourage rule braking and disobedience. Bella snapped back with "Don't talk that way to your elders. Didn't you ever learn any manners?" in the pureblood tone that seemed to come naturally to a Black.
Then when the three became friends, she knew they had done so through something dangerous and life threatening. As an older, Bella was not happy. As the daughter of pad foot the Marauder, she couldn't help but want to congratulate them. She settled for a smile while telling him off.
It was the moment her father's glint appeared in Harry's eyes, she knew her god-brother would be a handful.
This assumption came true later. Harry and Hermione were caught out of bed, late at night, coming out of the astronomy tower. To make it worse, Neville was found trying to warn them that Malfoy was gonna catch them. In the end, the three lost a hundred and fifty points for Gryffindor. Every lion was angry towards the trio while Slytherin was uncharacteristically kind to them. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff didn't take to the snakes in the lead either.
And suddenly the Boy-Who-Lived was not so popular.
I ended up smacking Fred and George's head together when I heard them calling Harry 'the seeker.' I knew how bad Harry wanted acceptance and friends, so for them to turn on him….
Luckily for Harry, Ron stood by him. In just a couple months, Harry had begun to see Ron as another brother. Someone close to his age that he could share with. Though, unfortunately, not everything.
Dumbledore has no idea that Harry hasn't been living with the Dursley's the past nine years. Instead, Sirius - who had been set free after spending a year in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit - and Eve Black adopted him during a time that Albus was abroad. Accidentally, everyone had forgotten to mention it to him and somehow - almost as if by magic - the Headmaster was still under the influence that the wards at the Durlsey's are still working.
About the second month of Harry's stay with the Blacks, Sirius had been taking a look at the family trees and noticed that there was a line connecting his wife and Lily Potter. As it turned out, Eve and Lily were cousins that had never met - Lily's mother and Eve's mother became estranged after Eve's mother started to go to boarding school while they still lived in America. And so, the Blacks discovered that the blood wards Dumbledore had been so partial to would work at Black Manor – a place that became much more of a home than Privet Drive. No one mentioned this to the headmaster though, believing he would find a way to still send him back – not that they would allow it.
And then, one night in June, I was awoken by Professor McGonagall telling me Harry had been taken to the hospital wing unconscious. Mom and Dad were already sitting by his side when I arrived. After a couple of minutes, Reg and Eli showed up too. We took turns waiting for three days for Harry to wake up. On the morning of the second, Dumbledore visited.
"Harry was found in the last chamber under the third floor corridor." He began after taking a seat at the end of the bed.
"The forbidden one?" I interrupted.
He nodded. "Ha-"
"What was he doing there?" Dad shouted.
"Trying to save the Sorcerer's Stone from Voldemort." He smiled when none of us flinched. "Voldemort had taken over Professor Quirrell's body, with the intention of taking the stone."
"What exactly is the Sorcerer's Stone?" Reg asked, brow furrowed.
"It is the invention of Nicholas Flamel. The Stone would turn any metal to gold and produce the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. As per Nicholas' request, I was hiding the Stone here. Protected by a series of enchantments."
"What in the name of Merlin were you thinking, putting something that dangerous and sought after in a school!" Mom yelled, pushing Dad back down in his seat.
Dumbledore sighed. "To be honest, I wasn't –"
"That's obvious." Dad snarled.
"Harry and his friends realized that someone was after the stone and in a fit of heroism, went to save it. Fortunately, Harry succeeded with very little after effects." And before my parents could say another thing, he stood and left.
Dad shook his head. "Albus is losing it."
"He should just be glad that Harry is okay." Mom whispered, running her hand softly over his cheek.
"Is he gonna wake up soon?" Eli asked quietly.
"Don't worry." Dad reassured. "He'll be up in no time."
I gave the bed a small smile and placed a tiny kiss on Harry's forehead.
